Fall Fury: Storm Timeline & Impacts
by Jonathan Erdman, Editorial Meteorologist
Updated: October 25, 2010 2:00 pm ET
We're staring at a powerful storm that is poised to rake high winds, severe t-storms, and, yes, even wet snow in parts of the Midwest. Some effects of this storm may also tease parts of the South and Northeast as well.


Forecast weather map Tuesday evening
Image: NOAA/NCEP

Meteorologists know this will be intense due to expected lowest central pressure of the low in western Ontario bottoming out in the neighborhood of 960-970 mb. This is a storm potentially as strong or stronger than the infamous "Edmund Fitzgerald" storm in Nov. 1975 and an even stronger version almost exactly 23 years after that in Nov. 1998.

Let's step through the timing and impacts of this multi-faceted storm.

There is a major power outage around town. Looking at the facebook buzz, a transformer at 11th and Michigan is the cause.

The damn tornado sirens woke me up in the morning. Found out later that I just missed a roaring twister a few miles to the south in Wanatah.

Winds whip through Wanatah

By Derek Smith
For The News-Dispatch
Published: Wednesday, October 27, 2010 5:13 PM CDT
WANATAH — Linda and Robert Metzinger were watching news coverage of Tuesday’s thunderstorms quietly in their living room when, seemingly out of nowhere, the images on their TV became real.

“All of a sudden, (there was) a big loud bang, like someone ran three or four semis into the house,” Robert said Tuesday at 9:30 a.m., less than an hour after severe winds pummeled his property on south CR-900W near U.S. 30.

“We felt the house move,” his wife added.

Stepping out onto the back patio of their ranch-style home, Robert said he saw wood and shingles scattered throughout the backyard. A large section of the roof was ripped from the house.

“We’ve had some winds, but it’s never done this much damage,” Robert said.

Less than a mile northwest at 9450 W. U.S. 30, employees of Hoosier Machinery Solutions were sent home after a storage building collapsed. General Manager Dan Hill said he saw what appeared to be a tornado touch down about 100 yards southwest of the building.

“We saw branches, leaves, dirt coming up,” he said.

“It got so loud people were jumping machines trying to find a hole to hide in,” shop foreman Darryl Hill added.

Flying debris from the structure damaged the business’ main building, which was without power Tuesday morning, Dan Hill said. The strong winds also blew Hill’s fishing boat, sitting in the parking lot, about 50 feet toward the road.

“It’s probably going to put us out of business for a bit,” he said.

Directly across U.S. 30 on the highway’s north side, strong winds lifted the roof off the garage attached to James and Phyllis Smoker’s home. Debris from the storage building took limbs off of trees and damaged a NIPSCO pole in their yard, James Smoker said.

His wife was standing at her kitchen window when debris from the storage building across the street swept through her yard.

“I looked out the window and saw all this stuff coming toward me,” Phyllis said. “At that time, I heard this noise — it sounded like (the roof) was lifting up and sliding.”

Captain Jeff Mitzner of Cass-Clinton Volunteer Fire Department said no one was injured from the damage at the three sites.

Few outages, little damage reported in city

From Staff Reports

MICHIGAN CITY — Winds caused few power outages and little damage Tuesday in Michigan City.

Michigan City police and fire officials reported no damage from fallen tree limbs or other objects tossed by the whipping winds.

“It sounds like we dodged a bullet, although we might find some tomorrow if this continues,” Assistant Police Chief Royce Williams said.

Fewer than 100 NIPSCO customers lost power in Michigan City, and all but one had electricity restored by 7:30 p.m., according to NIPSCO’s website. Westville had the highest number of outages in La Porte County with 625 on Tuesday afternoon. All but one was restored by 7:30 p.m.

A Toll Road ban on semi-trucks pulling long or oversize loads throughout the day forced drivers to find different routes through the state.

Today, stronger winds are expected to develop, the National Weather Service reported. Potentially damaging wind gusts of 50 to 60 mph could arrive between late morning and the afternoon.

I think it's more likely to be lake effect rain.

On the way back from hammers had to take shelter under the doorway/loading area at Faith City. Praise the Lord!
